55 Book Related Questions !
Hello guys. Happy March! Let's do something fun today. So, this post would be about my biggest hobby, which is reading. To be specific, smutty romance books! (Yes, smutty.)
So, the following questions, I got it from the following website. So yeah, check them out! (click here)
Let's start!
1. Favourite childhood book?The Famous Five series by Enid Blyton. I grew up reading the adventures of Julian, Dick, Anne, George and the dog Timothy. I love them so much, I created imaginary friends based on them.
2. What book I am reading right now?
Sweep in Peace (The Innkeeper Chronicles #2) by Ilona Andrews. Ilona Andrews never steered me wrong. This series is the last series I haven't read by them. After this, I have no more Ilona Andrews to read until the Sapphire Flames comes out.
3. What books do I have on request at the library?
Actually none. The library in my universities has a lot of research books compared to smutty romance. So, nope.
4. Bad book habit?
I like to DNF books. I feel like if I'm not into it by the 30%, what's the point of reading further when I could read other good books.
5. What do I have currently checked out from the library?
I have 5 books right now. Angels Fall by Nora Roberts, Soulless by Gail Carriger, Gentle Warrior by Julie Garwood, Born in Fire by Nora Roberts and City of Bones by Cassandra Clare. I haven't finished any of them. Instead, I'm reading ebooks right now.
6. Do I have an e-reader?
Yes. And I have thousands of books in there. And I can read them in the dark.
7. Read one book at a time or multiple books in one time?
Absolutely one book in one time. Usually. I only do multiple reading when one of the books are deathly dull or they are so depressing that I need something fun and sweet.
8. Have a blog where you post about books? If so, have your reading habits changed since starting a blog?
Yes. No. This blog has always been like a diary to me. Some random thoughts. When I want to talk about books, I'll talk about books here too.
9. Least favourite book this year?
It's only March, but I have read 102 books already but most of those are novellas and short stories. The least favourite so far is Virgin Husband by Alexa Riley. Alexa Riley usually does it for me. But not this time. I cannot handle married men cheating on his wife (although it was just a contract marriage). I do not condone cheating.
10. Favourite book I read this year?
Summoned to the Thirteenth Grave by Darynda Jones and Magic Triumphs by Ilona Andrews. I can't choose one because I read these two books in the same week. And you know what hurts most? Those two books are the last book in their respective series. I felt like it was the end of an era. I love Kate Daniels and Charley Davidson so much and now I feel so barren. I just lost two of the most badass heroine in the same week.
11. How often do I read out of my comfort zone?
Never. I am a smutty romance book addict through and through. It is very rare that went out of my comfort zone. VERY.

A smutty romance novel.

Oddly I can read a physical book in a bus but an e-reader, it just gives me nausea.
14. Favourite place to read?
Bed. Under the blanket.
